Tuition and Fees

Funding academic pursuits can be challenging. At the Gillings School, members of our faculty and staff are committed to placing a world-class education within your reach. Discover what you need to know about tuition and fees, overall costs of a Gillings School education, and how to apply for financial aid.

For details on costs and fees for the 2016–2017 academic year, consult the UNC Finance Office’s Tuition and Fees chart. (The School of Public Health information begins on page 7).

Note: Tuition rates are determined by the North Carolina General Assembly and may not be finalized until late summer each year.

Affordable

Tuition at Carolina is lower than at any of our peer schools… as it has been for decades!

UNC-Chapel Hill opened its doors in 1795 as the first public university in the nation. Keeping education affordable is part of our charter. We have a ferocious commitment to providing all students with an affordable education.

Experts in higher education describe UNC-Chapel Hill as one of the “public Ivies” because we deliver the kind of learning experience offered at private, Ivy-League institutions.
